If you're here, this is for you.
for this week's @newyorker.com magazine issue, I wrote a Profile of Bluesky, the site we are on right now! It's the deepest look yet at how Bluesky started as a Twitter side project and how CEO Jay Graber went from welding Bitcoin rigs to running a social network www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media
X and Facebook are governed by the policies of mercurial billionaires. Bluesky’s C.E.O., Jay Graber, says that she wants to give power back to the user.

If you're here, this is for you.
If you are taking a break from the screen, this is well worth considering :)
